Jada Collins

“During my time in Scotland, I was able to hear from amazing guest speakers, explore Edinburgh as a first-time international traveler, and meet the most incredible group of friends by getting to know my classmates. The growth I experienced due to this trip was truly transformational.”


Jared Baker

“Scholarships allow me to focus more on my studies because I will be less stressed and preoccupied with making ends meet. As a student who is also employed full-time at a job that is not high-paying, finances can be a concern. This scholarship goes a long way in making my education possible.”


Alexi McHugh

“This scholarship allows me to act from a place of choice, freedom, and kindness that I would not be able to as easily access without this gift.”

"The O'Neill School Greater Good Internship Scholarship helped support my intership experience where I was able to work as a policy analyst while focusing on creating educational programs that empower individuals with the skills necessary for success in the private sector."
